I’m a New York–based artist with a lifelong love for creativity. Though I first discovered art in elementary school, it wasn’t until a few years ago that I began pursuing it.

Working with oil paint feels natural to me, while watercolor gives me the freedom to experiment and play. I’m inspired by the places I’ve traveled—whether it’s the rugged beauty of Norway, the sunny energy of San Diego, or summers spent in Denver; I love weaving those experiences into my paintings to share a sense of wonder and feeling with others.

The photos I take while traveling work as a starting point for my paintings. I work from my own photography, translating the places I’ve seen into paint. My artistic journey began with animal portraits, but over time it has expanded to include landscapes that reflect my travels.
